World record cable car to the Zugspitze: the highest support and greatest freedom!

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Deutschland - The Zugspitze, the highest summit in Germany, attracts tourists from near and far with its impressive cable car. Built to master the timeless challenges of the Alps, the cable car holds three world records and at the same time offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

The record gondola of Bayerische Zugspitzbahn AG, which has been in operation since December 22, 2017, drives in less than ten minutes from the valley station on the Eibsee to 998 meters to the summit at a height of dizziness. The cable car overcomes a height difference from 1950 meters without intermediate stop, such as Merkur reported.

world records that impress

The cable car not only scores through its speed, but also with the world's longest free span field of 3213 meters - this is between the only support that is the highest steel building support in the world at 127 meters, and the summit of the Zugspitze. Each of the two wearing ropes weighs impressive 153 tons, which ensures enormous stability. And with a funding capacity of 580 people per hour, the new cable car doubles the capacities compared to the old Eibsee cable car, which has been in operation for more than 50 years, supplements Alps Magazine .

The engineers presented the engineers with great challenges. Ice, snow and fog did not make the planning and construction easy, even if the project could finally be implemented according to plan and budget. A material cable car was necessary to transport the building materials to the Zugspitz summit. This shows that the construction of the cable car was not only about technology, but also about the right feeling for the Alpine Natur.

Fantastic views and diverse use

The cable car not only offers access to the snow -white slopes for skiers, but also spectacular views of the Ammergau Alps. On clear days, the distant view extends up to 250 kilometers. This makes the cable car popular with various target groups: whether mountaineers, skiers or just day trippers who want to enjoy the winter panorama - everyone gets their money's worth here.

The Zugspitze is not only an important goal for tourists, but also embodies the progress of technology and the courage to invest in rough areas. The challenges of the climate and nature were mastered with flying colors, and the cable car will surely remain a popular starting point for nature lovers and adventurous people for many years.
